I am searching for information on my great grandfather William Allen Stephens.
He was from Perry Fl and at one point I believe he was in the Civil War. I
don't have very much information except his name.

My gg grandfather was born and raised in Florida and according to his
headstone he fought in the civil war with Company H 5th Calvary, I can't
find any mention of this unit on your website. Did that unit really exist or
is there a mistake on his headstone? If it did exsist can you give me any
info in it? His name was W.A. Lovel 1818-1903.
Thank You,

I am looking for the list of men serving in Company H of the 2nd Florida
Cavalry. My great grandfather served in this company. (At least this is
what it states on his tombstone but I can't find the list of men serving in
a Company H.) Please let me know if you have any useful internet sites.
Thank-you,

I have a problem. My GGGrandfather James Bozeman was enlisted as priv, in Co I, infantry, 40th AL. Yes, he was born in Covington Co. AL but the 1860 Census showed that his parents and siblings along with his (James") wife and two children had not long recided in Walton County FL. I have information that James died Dec. 24, 1864 in Rock Island Illinous POW camp. Apparently, although he had moved to FL, it seems that he enlisted with AL confederacy. I am having some difficulty locating much information about him because of this. Can you help me?

I have been trying to find information on 2 of my ancestors that were
(according to my great grandmother's UDC application) members of the 10th &
11th regiments of the FL Infantry.

They did not apply for pensions according to the Archives in Tallahassee, so
I'm trying to find access to military records in FL without having to actually
go down there (I live in VA). The following information is what my
ggrandmother wrote:

Cason McCoy Adams (1826-1911) was a private in Co. E, 11th Regiment of the FL
Infantry. He enlisted 2 March 1863 at Madison, FL. The company muster roll
Nov-Dec 1864 shows him as absent "sent to hospital in Richmond" on 17 Aug
1864. He was paroled 18 May 1865. Personal description was "5'9", light
hair.

James Shepard Lewis (1828-1897) served with Co. H, 10th Regiment of the FL
Infantry. He was discharged 17 May 1865. She did not list any enlistment
date or location. James' brother Daniel was killed at Gettysburg and James
was appointed Guardian of Daniel's 4 minor orphans. I am trying to find some
definite results as to the participation and rosters of these regiments.
Can you shed any light?

Looking for NAZWORTH family. James Thomas Nazworth, George W. Nazworth, and W. H. Nazworth. All three enlisted in the Kilcrease Artillery, transferred to 2nd Fl. Cav. Co. E. James Thomas Nazworth has a CSA pension file, Leon Co., 1907. Am particularly interested in family info or photos which may include any of these three. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'm researching my 3rd great-grandfather Samuel C. Strickland (born abt 1830
in SC, died about 1910 in GA, buried in Manor, GA). He was in Jefferson Co.,
FL in the 1860 and 1870 census'. He served as a C.S.A. soldier in the
Kilcrease Light Artillery. He enlisted 4/28/64 at P&G R.R. Can someone
tell me what P&G R.R. stands for. Perhaps something like Perry and Gulf
Railroad?
I would like to learn more about what activities this unit participated in
and anything else that may be of interest concerning it.
Thanks,

My great-grandfather was James Llewellyn Oliver, born in Alabama in 1842, son of Berrien Oliver, served in the 2d Fla. Cavalry at Olustee and Natural Bridge. His children were James Carter Oliver (my grandfather), Earnest Oliver and Jennie Oliver Warren. James Carter Oliver's son was my father, Wayne Carter Oliver. All the above are buried in the Oliver family cemetary at Wakulla, which I still legally own. I have accumulated a substantial amount of information on the Oliver Family (going back to England in the 1500's) which I will share with anyone seriously interested.

Looking for service information for
Demetrius John Murat, Co. A, 2nd FL Cav
Henry C. Swain Light Artillery, CSA
All I have to go on is grave markers. There are no pension files or muster
rolls that I can find. Anything at all would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for John E. Herring who supposedly was captured and coerced into
deserting so he wouldn't go to prison. He was in the hospital with Typhoid
fever one day and a couple of days later he was taking the oath as a deserter.
I'm just trying to see if there is ANY record ANYWHERE of his being captured.
I found something very interesting on these rosters for the 11th
Infantry. 15% of the men in companies D & E deserted. I also found a
number of Honorably Discharged----a term I'd not seen on any of the
others. Could I possibly find an in-depth history of the 11th Infantry
somewhere. This is so unusual that I'd like to look into it.

According to the tombstone of James B. Walker, he was born in 1843 and
died in 1863 in CSA. After searching through all the counties bordering
his resident county of Nassau (both Georgia & Florida), and finding him
on no muster roll, I'm beginning to wonder if that CSA stood for
Confederate States of America rather than Confederate States Army.
Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
Sincerely,

William S. Stanaland, aka
Stanling, Stanley & Standley. He's buried in the Stanaland Cemetery,
near Fish Creek, Taylor County, Florida. While he served in Company D,
his older brother Rabon Stanaland served in Co. C 2nd Fla Cavalry.

STRICKLAND'S INDEPENDENT UNION RANGERS

Stanaland, William S. (b.. April 19,1828 Appling Co. GA d. March 5,
1892; m. Mary Elizabeth Sheffield) lived in Taylor Co. in 1860. He was
a saltmaker and was originally exempted from military service. When the
Exemption Act of 2/17/64 removed the exemption for saltmakers, he joined
this company. He reenlisted 416/64 in Company D, 2nd Florida US) Cavalry
in Taylor Co. as a refugee from the Confederacy and was promoted Sgt
8/12/64 but was reduced in early 1865. He was briefly missing in action
3/6/65 at Natural Bridge. He was mustered out 11/29/65 at -Tallahassee.
He was 6', blue eyes, dark hair & fair skin. Occupation: farmer. He had
at least three children.
Stanaland, Raborn S (b. 1824 Appling Co. GA ) was a member of this
company then reenlisted 4/6/64 in Company C, 2nd Florida Cavalry in
Taylor Co. as a refugee from the Confederacy. He was furloughed 9/28/65
and was mustered out 11/29/65 at Tallahassee. He was 6', blue eyes, dark
hair & sandy skin. Occupation: farmer.
I hope this information is useful.
Sincerely,

I am currently researching the 5th Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Cavalry, CSA
and the 2nd Florida Volunteer Cavalry, CSA. The 2nd Florida had some
campaign action but I am not sure where- Do you have any data on this unit?
Where were the men from? I had a GGUncle, Bayard C. Houston, who was listed
as a Private in Company H of the 2nd Florida, there are serveral record
cards I obtained from the Florida Archives, the last enty stated he deserted
in 1864. Do you have any information on the Cadet Corps of Florida Seminary?
(Now FSU). Would greatly appreciate any and all information

Looking for information on the following:
Name: William Sills
Born: 1816 GA
Died: ?
Buried: ?
Wife: Mary Watson
Served with Co C of 1st Regiment Florida Reserves in the Civil War. Enlisted
May 2 1864, at Marianna. A muster roll dated "to May 14, 1865," stated that
he had been in the hospital at Marianna since January 23, 1865.
Returned to Georgia after the war, settling in DeKalb Co.
Name: James A. Sills
Born: 22 Dec 1842 GA
Died: 5 Aug 1920 FL Jackson Co
Buried: FL Jackson Co Pleasant Ridge Cemetery
Wife: Amelia S. Hart
During Civil War, enlisted July 3, 1861 at Greenwood, Jackson Co, FL, for 12
months. He was mustered into the Confederate Army as a private in Co D,
Capt. Barnes' Co, Sept 25, at Fort Mallory. That company became Co I of the
4th FL
Infantry, with which he was shown in service through Dec, 1862. At the
Battle of Murfreesboro (Stones River)TN, he was shot in the foot and
captured on Jan. 5, 1863. He was imprisoned at Louisville, KY, until
exchanged, arriving at
City Point, VA, Apr 2, 1863. He apparently never returned to service.
These were father and son, William being the father. I'm sure of the son's
service. I'm reasonably sure the William listed in records of the 1st
Reserves was James' father but would like conclusive proof if it's
available.
Thanks,
